Here's Another Reform.

An exchange makes these com
ments. They are worthy of your
consideration: 1t is fact perhaps
not generally known that CORES,
pondents all over the United States
are making a change in the manner
Of addressing their letters, papers,
documents and other matters,
which if generally adopted is
destined to institute a revolution in
the work of corresponding, dis
tributing and delivering the mails.
Instead of first writing the name
of the person or company to whom
the letter or package is to be sent, the
name of the post Office is written
in bold hand across the center of
the envelope, and directly at the
right the name of the county or
state. The name Of the person for
whom the misslye is intended is
then written in the lower left hand
corner, and if deemed necessary,
the name and address of the sender
is placed in the upper corner next
TO the left. The advantage to be
derived from this system by those
who have the handling of the mails
is potent to every observer. In
sorting and distributing, instead OF
having to hunt through illeglble
scrawls TO find the name of the post
office to which the letter is address
ed, they have it right before them
in the initial line directly across
the envelope, and much time other
wise lost is saved 1t is believed
by those who advocate the adoption
Of this system Of addressing
throughout the country, will be !
long stride toward the perfection o.
our mail faeilities.-S1maay IJd'

THE wife of ex-United States
Senator Angus Cameron, Of La
Crosse, attempted to commit suicide
last Thursday by drowning in the
Mississippi river at that place. She
was rescued before she had waded
out where it was deep enough to
drown her. 1t is singular fact
that her husbands brother, the late
Dr. d. ID. Cameron, of the same
city, committed suicide in a similar
manner several years ago. The
wife of Senator Alison, Of Iowa
drowned herself in the Mississippi
river. Mrs. Angus Cameron was a
women of rare beauty and superior
accomplishments, but was rendered
insane by an accident on the
Brooklyn ferry, while her husband
was Senator.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our reqnIar oorrespondent.

From our regular correspondent.
Now that the long-looked for
event of the appointment of Inter
State Commerce Commissioners is a
thing Of the past, other important
questions in connection with them
have arisen. Each individual mem
Der Of the board has been fully dis
cussed from every standpoint, view
ed through and through, and allowed
to pass 40 an honest, able man,
whether or not he can do anything
that will rebound to his credit ~
regards the great crude problem
which he is called upon to grapple.
The next question is, where will
the new court sit? This puzzles
Secretary Lamar. He is expected to
furnish the necessary accommoda-
tions, and the Interior Department
is already overcrowded. The truth
is this constantly growing Govern
ment has no room anywhere for a
new bureau, and not half enough
for many of its old ones. If the
Commission is fit to survive the OPP
position, storms and conflicts which
await it during the term Of six years
for which it was appointed, Uncle
Sam will doubtless be ready by that
time to erect a commodious building
for its special use. AT present they
will be compelled to seek more hum
bic quarters. Among the houses
offered for their use is one that was
formerly occupied as a residence by
Nj. Blaine
The first office of importance un.
der the Commission is that of Sec
rotary, and candidates are being
brought forward. In the organiza
ton and management of new
branch of the service of so much
importance as this commission, Its
secretary will have a large amount
Of business to attend to, aud of ne.
eessity must be a man of fine ability
and one who has some knowledge OF
the organization and routine of the
| Government Departments.
The establishment of new Fed
eral Office here, the employment OF
4 large clerical and official force, and
the hocking to headquarters OF
thousands of people, railroad men
and their attorneys, shippers, pro
ducers, consumers, travellers and
others interested questions comm
before the Commission, will have
the effect of adding much to tn,
activity of the summer in Washing
ton.
Every day the Civil Service Com
missioners receive letters from per
sons who desire to enter competitive
examinations for olerkships under
the new Interstate Commerce Com
mission. But the clerical force Il
be employed in this service will no
come under the provisions of the
civil service law unless the Presl
dent sanctions and promulgates
rule to that effect.
Just at this time there are pending
before the United States Pension

why shoes Are Thrown at Weddings.

The custom Of throwing one or more
old shoes after the bride and groom,
either when they 90 to church to be
married OF when they start on their
wedding journey, is so old that the
memory of man stretches not back to
its beginning. Some think it repre-
sents an assault, and is a lingering
trace Of the custom among savage MAJ
tions Of carrying away the bride by
violence; others think that it is q relic
of the ancient law of exchange on pur-
chase, and that it formerly implied the
surrender by the parents OF all domin-
ion on authority over their daughter.
1t has likeness to Il Jewish custom
mentioned in the Bible Thus in Deu-
teronomy wercud that when the brother
of a dead man refused to marry his
widow she asserted her independence
Of him by 'loosing his shoe. Also in
Ruth, when the kin~man Of Boaz gave
up his claim to the inheritance of Ruth
ana 20 Ruth also he indicated his as
sent by plucking off his shoe ana
giving it to BoaZ. 1t was also the GUS
tom of the middle ages to place the
husbands shoe ON the head Of the nup-
ual couch, in token Of his domination.

THE Hon Henry Watterson, of
the Courier Journal, is reported by
an interviewer as saying: 81 am
looking every year for breakup
Of the solid South, and it will be a
good thing for the country when it
comes" There is not a bit of
doubt about that--good socially,
politically, and commercially.
There are great interests vital to the
South which will never be served
under the rule of "befoh the wah'
Democratic politics. The best
thinking men of the South see this
and will welcome the break. Or

South, when the break comes, will
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
